BIM Manager

About TensorWave Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure. About the Role We’re looking for a BIM Manager to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll be responsible for coordinating, governing, and maintaining Building Information Models (BIM) across the company's data center portfolio. This role supports greenfield development, facility expansions, renovations, and AI infrastructure deployments for a neocloud provider. The position establishes and maintains company-wide BIM standards, ensures consistency across projects and design partners, and implements formal model review and approval gates throughout design and construction. The BIM Coordinator works closely with mechanical and electrical engineering teams, architects, consultants, contractors, equipment vendors, and commissioning personnel to ensure coordinated, accurate, and construction-ready deliverables. The role supports scalable data center development, including high-density AI and HPC environments, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and mission-critical power and cooling infrastructure. What You’ll Do Portfolio-Wide BIM Standards and Governance - Develop, implement, and maintain company-wide BIM standards, modeling guidelines, naming conventions, coordinate systems, and model deliverable requirements. - Establish standardized BIM execution plans and information exchange protocols for greenfield, expansion, retrofit, and capacity augmentation projects. - Maintain standardized data center model templates, equipment families, typical details, and reusable design components to support repeatable engineering and construction delivery. - Define model development, coordination, and information requirements for each project phase. - Establish minimum model quality, clash detection, issue resolution, and design coordination acceptance criteria. - Ensure engineering consultants, architects, contractors, and equipment vendors comply with company BIM standards and project-specific requirements. - Conduct periodic audits of project models to verify consistency, completeness, and compliance with established standards. - Coordinate lessons learned across projects and incorporate improvements into company-wide standards and reference models. - Support the engineering organization in developing a scalable digital delivery framework that improves consistency and accelerates deployment across the data center portfolio. Multidisciplinary BIM Coordination - Coordinate mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, architectural, civil, and technology models. - Manage model federation, clash detection, issue tracking, and resolution workflows. - Maintain model integrity, version control, shared coordinates, and common data environment protocols. - Facilitate coordination meetings with internal engineering teams, consultants, contractors, and vendors. - Identify and resolve spatial conflicts affecting installation, operation, maintenance, and future expansion. - Ensure coordinated models align with approved engineering documentation, specifications, equipment submittals, and project requirements. Formal Model Review and Approval Gates - Establish and administer formal BIM review gates at key project milestones, including design development, construction documentation, procurement, prefabrication, installation, and final handover, as applicable. - Define model readiness criteria and required approvals before models are released for design issue, fabrication, or construction use. - Coordinate documented model reviews with mechanical and electrical engineering leads to verify compliance with the approved basis of design, engineering criteria, and project standards. - Verify that critical clashes, design discrepancies, equipment access constraints, and system interface conflicts are resolved or formally dispositioned before milestone approval. - Maintain a model review register documenting review status, identified issues, responsible parties, corrective actions, approvals, and outstanding risks. - Coordinate resolution of conflicts between BIM models, engineering drawings, specifications, equipment submittals, and field conditions. - Escalate unresolved critical issues that may affect safety, reliability, maintainability, cost, schedule, or operational readiness. - Ensure model revisions are reviewed and revalidated when design changes materially affect previously coordinated systems. - Coordinate model release status with project management, procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to ensure the correct model version is used. - Maintain an auditable record of model approvals, deviations, exceptions, and final acceptance. Data Center Mechanical and Electrical Systems - Coordinate mission-critical mechanical and electrical infrastructure, including cooling systems, pumps, piping, valves, heat exchangers, CDUs, electrical distribution, switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, busways, generators, cable trays, and associated utilities. - Coordinate direct-to-chip liquid cooling infrastructure where applicable. - Verify equipment footprints, access clearances, service zones, replacement paths, and maintenance requirements. - Coordinate high-density rack layouts and IT infrastructure interfaces with facility power and cooling systems. - Identify conflicts involving overhead congestion, utility routing, structural penetrations, and equipment installation requirements. AI Infrastructure and Scalable Deployment - Coordinate facility layouts to support evolving AI and HPC rack densities, power requirements, and cooling architectures. - Develop reusable model components and reference layouts that support standardized deployment across multiple sites. - Coordinate phased construction and expansion strategies to accommodate future compute capacity. - Support integration of IT infrastructure requirements with mechanical, electrical, structural, and architectural systems. - Identify spatial and utility constraints that could affect deployment schedules or future capacity growth. Construction and Commissioning Support - Provide coordinated model deliverables to support construction, installation sequencing, and field coordination. - Coordinate model updates resulting from approved design changes and field conditions. - Support prefabrication and modular construction planning. - Verify that construction teams and trade contractors use the appropriate approved model versions. - Coordinate model information with equipment submittals, installation requirements, testing plans, and commissioning activities. - Ensure final record models incorporate approved changes and meet owner handover requirements. Digital Handover and Continuous Improvement - Establish model and asset information requirements for handover to data center operations and facilities management. - Coordinate equipment identifiers, asset schedules, and maintenance information where required. - Support integration with asset management, CMMS, and digital twin platforms where applicable. - Monitor model quality, clash resolution, review-gate compliance, and delivery milestones. - Identify recurring coordination issues and implement improvements to standards, templates, and review processes. Who You Are Required Qualifications - Five or more years of BIM coordination, VDC, or multidisciplinary design coordination experience. - Experience coordinating complex MEP systems in data centers or other mission-critical facilities. - Proficiency with Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, and a common data environment or model coordination platform. - Experience developing or implementing BIM execution plans, modeling standards, clash detection processes, and issue tracking workflows. - Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, equipment submittals, and construction documentation. - Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical infrastructure and constructability requirements. - Demonstrated ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, track issues, and enforce project deliverable requirements. Preferred Qualifications - Experience supporting hyperscale data centers, neocloud providers, AI infrastructure, or HPC facilities. - Experience establishing BIM governance and standards across multiple projects or facilities. - Familiarity with direct-to-chip liquid cooling, CDUs, immersion cooling, and high-density electrical distribution. - Experience implementing formal model review gates and design release criteria. - Knowledge of prefabrication, modular construction, commissioning, and digital asset handover. - Familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM Collaborate Pro, or comparable platforms.
